A/N : Now things are getting interesting in this chapter my lovely readers and followers. It's just the beginning. Hope you all enjoy (: I have made a couple of edits in the first chapter because I had a better idea of the OCs I created. This chapter will be the shortest out of all others but this scene is very important and worth the wait to you all!

"WAHHA! SHE'S SCARY!" Amelie screamed as she ran and ran away from the house. She tried as she could to get back into the camp in one piece. During the screams and shouts the girl was thinking that if she came back all safe and sound from the ghost, everyone, including Dimitre, would be shocked and thrilled that the little girl survived from that encounter. She for sure will be getting her five bucks; and of course having a win of seeing Dimitre's face fell flat with defeat. She couldn't wait for that moment to come. Less thinking Am! More running, to bring it all home! The girl kept reminding herself during the sprint of a lifetime. Without paying any attention to the view in front of her, she immediately smacked right into another person that was in the girl's way, hitting shoulders and fell on the ground with a bang.
Alice kept running and running to get back home. She missed her home. The camp was too much for the little girl. Sure it was fun, but handling all these extreme sports such as 'football' wasn't the girl's preference. "I need to get home!" Alice tried not to cry on her way. The little girl attempted to wipe her eyes dry with one hand and used to the other to block any dirt that would fly by her face. She closed her eyes momentarily until someone collided with her letting the girl to lose her balance towards the ground below.
Amelie hissed in pain and started rubbing her forehead to numb the pain away, "Ouch..." The girl started to slowly sit up and continued rubbing anything that was sore from the fall. Alice did the same simultaneously, rubbing her forehead while sitting up. She gradually adjusted her eyes to who was in her way. Amelie did the same as well and stared at the girl in front with shocked eyes, "Woah..." Alice had to triple check and rubbed her eyes countlessly to make sure her vision wasn't broken from that fall. "AHH!" The little girl backed away staring at the girl in front of her.
"AHH! W-WHAT ARE YOU?!" Amelie questioned as she began freaking out and scooted further away from her double. "I-I don't know! Is this a dream or are you..." Alice started to quickly stand up and held onto the nearest tree for support. "A-Are you...me?" Amelie questioned and stood up from her fall, never leaving her eye contact towards her. In the girl's eyes was like looking through a mirror, looking at her own reflection. The girl had the same hair, eye, skin, color. It was spot on that they both had a stick of hair that refused to come down. Strange.
"No. I am me," Alice unlatched herself from the tree inching away towards the girl to have a closer look. She inspected the girl up closely looking at the person in front of her. Accept from her clothing attire and bunch of cuts and band aides she looked exactly like her. "Is there two of you or two of me?" Alice just wanted to know and hesitated walking closer to know the truth of it all. "But I am me," Amelie responded as she kept staring at the girl. She hesitated and started moving closer. Alice wanted to see the real deal and moved closer. Just now both girls were a couple of inches apart seeing eye to eye. Alice started to lightly tap the girl's shoulder, experimenting that this wasn't a hallucination. Amelie did the same back to Alice as she didn't want this to be some sort of weird dream. "No way..you are real!"
"AHH!" Alice gave a squeamish noise back from the touch, "You too! There really is two of us!" Both girls contemplated and wanted to do one final test. Each started to slowly draw their hand forward to one personal spot: the spik of hair. With their hands coming closer the girls screamed simultaneously, "DON'T TOUCH THERE!" The girls' eyes widen in shock since they assume now that spot was very sensitive towards the other. "How can there be two of us!?" Amelie asked in awe and grinned at the girl. "I-I don't know!" Alice gave an embarrassing blush and looked down at her shoes for distraction. Amelie sighed and sat on a rock near them. "Hey do you know about that scary ghost chick?"
Scary ghost chick? Alice had to rethink the message and quickly understood what the girl had meant. Is this girl Amelie? "So you were at my house," Alice stared at the girl giving a sincere look, hoping for an explanation. Maybe that was the reason to why the others and the man with the eyebrows were mentioning about her home and caring about her safety.
"Some kid was yelling at me saying 'I shouldn't be here' and the poor girl was crying and happy that I was alright."
Amelie nodded and sighed letting her chin rest on her palm, "So they were worried bout me huh?...nice...W-wait you live there?" Amelie's eyes widen from shock and remembered the painting back at the house. It was her.
"That lady scared me though...she seriously is a ghost!" She muttered the last part quietly as she started freaking out earlier on why no one came to rescue her.
Alice again gave the girl a confusing look while crossing her arms, "What's this about a ghost? What were you doing at my house?"
"Well Dimmy was being a mean old grouch like always and bet me to go to that haunted house over there. And since I gots a reputation to up hold, I did it. Got caught by that penguin guy and saw the scary lady in all white with that icky stuff on her face," Amelie smiled with a grin and nodded until she shivered and looked behind her quickly to make sure no one was behind her. Alice gave a slight chuckle covering her smile from the girl. "It's not funny! There was a ghost, I swear."
"My house isn't haunted! Whoever told you that was wrong, and the man in the suit is Toris. He's our butler. The lady that you mentioned is no ghost though she's absolutely horrid!" Alice sat down on a different rock that was close by her look-a-like. She held her knees close together shivering, getting rid of thoughts of Natalya. "Well it sure was when I went there. So you do know her! I agree on that one with you. She's so terrible!" Amelie commented looking at girl in front of her.
"Yes and she's the worst person who I ever met! But I really like the man with the eyebrows."
"Oh you mean Iggy! Yeah! I wish he adopted me."
"Is Iggy his real name?" Alice raised her eyebrow in curiosity. What a ridiculous yet interesting name. The little girl had not ever heard a name like that in her life.
"Uh well nah. His real name is Arthur, but we all like calling him Iggs, Iggy, Ig, you know?" Amelie scratched her cheek to rid an itch.
"Oh I see he has an interesting nickname. Are you Amelie?" Alice stared at the girl hoping to get a response back. "Yeah, Amelie! W-wait how do you know my name?" Amelie started to freak out and the Alice had to wave her arms calmly that everything's alright. "Arthur was calling me by your name. He mistook me as you, to put it that way."
"Ohhh..wait so who are you?"
"Alice Jones, it is a pleasure to meet you," Alice stood up from her rock and extended her hand for a formal handshake with the girl. Amelie stared at the hand outstretched for her and simply nodded taking the handshake to the next level. Alice was a little surprised by the action of the greeting; but she quickly shook it off and placed her hand back towards her side.
"Yep. So how is the rich life?"
"Honestly lonely. Since my dad is about to marry that monster. It's like I had no one. So I went to the camp to see what an orphan life is."
"Man that has to suck. Wait you think being an orphan is fun!? Ha! Yeah right! An orphan doesn't have parents or anyone. Be happy you at least have a dad...I'd like to be in your shoes for one day."
"I've admit, it is fun. I do like the people except that one boy who is annoying," Alice sighed and crossed her arms once more remembering of the jerk face telling her to disappear.
"Oh Dimmy? Yeah he's a jerk!" Amelie stood up again and sighed, doing the same thing as Alice. Alice looked down at the ground remembering all the events that took place that day, "Well I'm losing my Dad to that wicked witch. I caught her talking poorly of my mother. She made up a lie to cover it up and my Father believed her. But I'm thankful to have Uni who is my special friend. We do everything together when daddy's not here."
"Who's Uni?"
"He's my stuff unicorn."
"You believe in those things!? You're like Iggy!" Amelie tried to hold in her stomach and guts out from the constant laughter. Alice only got annoyed further, rolling her eyes.
"Well at least I'm not the only one. They are real, betting she drove them away."
"Hmm well I'm an expert on driving adults who I don't like away," Amelie said with a slight smirk remembering all the times she purposely acted terrible so the unlikable adults, that she didn't like, wouldn't adopt her. "You know how to make Natalya leave?" Alice looked at her with her eyes filled with hope. "Yeah I do, been doing it my whole life kid," Amelie smiled with a smug grin placing both hands on her hips with determination.
"What is your idea?"
"Hehe. Well my idea's this, how bout we switch for the day since we look like twins. I'll help you drive away that lady and you can have fun with Iggy," Amelie smiled proudly.
"Really you could do that? Except no sports even though Daddy is a fan, they are not my forte," Alice shrugged.
"Yeah! Well can't make no promises there. Iggs knows I love sports so yeah...oh your Dad likes sports?! Cool! What's his favorite?"
"Fine I'll try, but that soccer game was scary! They were after me!" Alice shot her arms up in frustration. "Yeah he loves any sports. American football is his favorite."
"Soccer? Oh you mean football! Word of advice! Never use soccer! Iggs hates that!" Amelie giggled out slightly remembering how furious the Brit could get when someone called football 'soccer'. "Oh American football? Awesome!" She shouted out flailing her arms in the air with joy. She honestly loved every sport.
"I can see that. He used that term when he found me suggesting that I would play," Alice rolled her eyes and sighed, "He loves it. But he never had time for me because of his job."
"What job he got?" Amelie asked curious about the man she would have to stay with and pretend to be his daughter
"You don't know? My dad owns your camp."
"What!? No way! No wonder Iggs said not to go by your house!" Amelie said in awe.
"Yeah that's my father," Alice smiled, making a slight frown after, "When should we meet up after this is all done?"
"Noon tomorrow. Oh and when you go back to the camp, don't speak all smangle dangle properly. You gotta speak like me if ya want to trick them," Amelie said moving her baseball cap so the tongue of the cap would be facing the back of her head.
Alice placed both hands on her hips trying to give an imitation of her father, "You ain't got nothin ta worry about!"
Amelie smiled gently back, "Here as well. You have nothing to worry about dear Alice, or should I say Amelie."
"Ya catch on rather quickly Alice," Alice smirked back. "Meet at the stables!" Alice shouted out then left off to have a fun day at the camp with Arthur.
"Okay!" Amelie shouted and ran off back towards the summer house anxious to have a wonderful evening with Natalya.
Hope you can do it Amelie.
